Get involved in .NET Core OSS Projects

OSS software is at the core of this new version of the runtime, built out in the open so that anyone can contribute and provide feedback continuously. Out on GitHub, there are several projects based on .NET Core that are waiting for your input. Some are SDKs and others are proper parts of products we use every day. Here’s a list to get you started:

• Dotnet/wcf: “This repo contains the client-oriented WCF libraries that enable applications built on .NET Core to communicate with WCF services”
• Azure/azure-sdk-for-net: “The Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET allows you to build applications that take advantage of scalable cloud computing resources.”
• aspnet/Home: “The Home repository is the starting point for people to learn about ASP.NET Core.”
• SignalR/SignalR: “Incredibly simple, real-time web for .NET”
• OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK: “The Open XML SDK provides open-source libraries for working with Open XML Documents (DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX).”
• Microsoft/msbuild: “The Microsoft Build Engine is a platform for building applications. This engine, which is also known as MSBuild, provides an XML schema for a project file that controls how the build platform processes and builds software.”
• dotnet/Roslyn: “The .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn") provides open-source C# and Visual Basic compilers with rich code analysis APIs.”
